Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection is a great set for both die hard Metal Gear collectors or people that are new to the series. MGS:EC is a 3 game set containing Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Metal Gear Solid came out on the original Playstation back in 1998, and is easily an instant classic. MGS is what made the stealth action genre what it is today. You play as Solid Snake, a retired soldier a who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to eliminate the terrorist threat called FOXHOUND. Snake's mission is to save two hostages, the head of DARPA and the president of a major arms manufacturer and to prevent the terrorist from launching a nuclear strike. The game is filled with fun stealth-action gameplay, a terrific storyline, and some of the best voice acting in video games.
Metal Gear Solid 2 is the sequel of Metal Gear Solid and was originally released on the Playstation 2 back in 2001. Metal Gear Solid 2 improves on all of what made MGS such an amazing game. Great graphics, new weapons, and a great storyline that has a major twist!!!
Metal Gear Solid 3 takes place before the events of both MGS and MGS 2. Metal Gear Solid 3 takes place in the 1960s during the Cold War. The gameplay stays true to the first 2 titles, but the environments are definitely different. MGS 3 takes place out in the jungle. On your mission you will have to hunt for food to eat so you do not starve. There is also an array of camouflages you can select, and a cure system that you will use to heal Snake's cuts and broken bones. Just like the other games in the series, MGS3 has an amazing storyline and voice acting.
If you missed the Metal Gear Solid series or are just a die hard Metal Gear fan that wants to add this set to their collection, this is a must buy! Three great games for 30 bucks is a stellar deal! I highly recommend this set!!!
What's great about it: Great Stealth Action Gameplay, Phenomenal Storyline and Voice Acting, Graphics, Gameplay
What's not so great: Some might find the cutscenes frequent and length

I saw this movie when it was at the theater. This is a great movie. I loved the humor in it. I think the main reason why i love it is because it relates to a "normal" person's life. It also reminded me of knocked up, 40 year old virgin, superbad, and forgetting Sarah Marshall. All excellent movies. I also enjoyed the extra features on the 2nd disc. Ellen Page and Michale Cera have chemistry in this movie. Great cast!
